2018 Florida Feminist Organizing School

[Español abajo]

In May, Grassroots Global Justice, the Miami Workers Center, the Florida Statewide Alignment Group (SWAG), and Grassroots Policy Project came together in Miami for the Florida Regional Feminist Organizing School. We had about 40 participants from 20 different organizations from Central and Southern Florida come together to celebrate and strengthen our commitment to grassroots feminisms. We built a community of support in which we challenged and learned from one another.

During this regional FOS, we discussed:

Power and patriarchy and the importance of maintaining an intersectional lens

Gender and sexuality and the artificial boundaries that should not limit us

Feminisms and the history of our movements

The evolution of capitalism, its effect on gender and reliance on patriarchy

Feminist economics and the need to socialize reproductive labor

Organizing with a feminist lens locally, nationally and globally. With Miami Workers Center we looked at the Femme Agenda, and with the Statewide Alignment Group, we considered the importance of brining a feminist lens to electoral organizing

Our hope is that the Feminist Organizing Schools continue to inspire our movement comrades and allies to carry forward the fight to dismantle patriarchy and the interlocking systems of oppression. We will keep marching until all of us are free! ¡Seguiremos en la marcha hasta que tod@s seamos libres!
